Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike, could not be validated to cast his vote at his Polling Unit 8, Ward nine, Rumueprikon, Obio-Akpor, following the failure of the Bio-modal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).
The Governor and his wife, Suzzette, left the polling unit at about 11 am as the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) pleaded that they should wait a little while.
The officials explained that the failed BVAS as a general problem in the State adding that they were waiting for technicians assigned to the unit to rectify the problem.
A crowd of voters was patiently waiting to begin accreditation at the unit.
The Governor, who left the unit, said they were disappointed with INEC.
